@computergeek, do you think is is normal for having an interview almost 21/2 months and a months since ecas went to in process then this generic response?computergeek said:
It seems fairly normal. If they were unhappy with the interview, you'd have received a rejection fairly quickly (1-2 weeks usually). What it likely means is they've ordered something - like background checks - and are waiting for the results to come back before they look at your file again.bbccanada said:
That is correct, you need to send them to the Embassy of Canada in Rome. See this link: http://www.canadainternational.gc.ca/italy-italie/consular_services_consulaires/authentication_documents_authentification.aspx?lang=eng&view=djuliac said:
You will need an ARC (Authorization to Return to Canada) in order for the PR application to be approved. The ARC will automatically be processed as part of the PR application. You should expect your application processing time to be longer than normal since the ARC takes several months to process. It's likely CIC will also take a much closer look at your relationship to make sure it's genuine due to the failed refugee bid and the deportation order. Overall, I think you should expect the processing time for your application to exceed (i.e. take longer) than normal processing times. Also, don't be surprised if you are called for an interview.DonEranga said:
By the way, some foreign legal documents may not be used abroad until "legalized" by a specific local authority. I am refering to your Italian Marriage Certificate (if that's where you married). It may be possible that your marriage certificate may need to be legalized by the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs first, then translated (so the legalization is translated) and then sent to the Emabassy. I am not sure this is the italian case, but I am guessing the Embassy of Canada may give you more info on this.juliac said:
As a student, you can apply for an off-campus work permit after 6 months of studying. This is not related to your marriage to a PR. It is open to all students who are studying at qualifying institutions. This permit is an open permit but restricted to 20 hrs. a week during the semester when you have classes.simik said:
I've just received information about this. The woman at the Embassy has NO idea what she is talking about. Documents do NOT have to be forwarded to her first in order to authenticate (legalize) signatures. I've spoken directly to someone who has already sent the application to Rome, and this is NOT necessary. She is poorly informed. Also, if you read about registering foreign marriages in Canada, it is NOT necessary.cempjwi said:
